Real Bride Abroad: 40 days & 40 nights 1320 views

Yasmine is starting to tick off some of the big planning decisions on her to-do list and has some top tips to share with WP brides...

Only 40 days to go till the big day. Thankfully all the big tasks are out of the way – booking the venue and photographer, finding the dress and sending out the invites. I’ve even found pretty dresses for the bridesmaids – maxi dresses in slate grey and black. To stop them looking too matchy-matchy I’m asking the girls to accessorise their own outfits with silver jewellery. I think they’ll look gorgeous!

Now is the time to finalise all the little details and over the next few weeks we’ll be choosing flowers and menus with the help of our super-efficient wedding planner, Carolina at Tuscan Dream. And I’ve even found the perfect cake topper. Sarah at Feats of Clay designed one for Emma Griffiths and Matt Willis’ wedding – her toppers are fabulously quirky and can be made to look like mini replicas of you both.

Top tip: book your photographer ASAP (we booked ours nearly two years ago) as all the best ones get booked up very quickly. We loved Nazarin Montag as her portfolio is super varied: she’s done album covers and film photography as well as being a wedding expert.

My hen night is on Saturday. The plan is to dress up as super-heroes (my idea). I don’t know what else the girls have got planned but let’s hope it doesn’t involve chaining me to any railings…
